Outdoor collection boxes
We've broken new ground by revolutionizing garment collection with semi-sunken outdoor collection boxes. We have switched from manual to mechanical collections.
We have also developed recognized expertise in logistics and data management.
1998
Installation of outdoor collection boxes
We were the first non-profit organization (NPO) in Quebec to install outdoor collection boxes for the recovery of clothing and household goods.
Our collections enable materials to be put to new uses.
Rather than clogging up landfill sites, we choose the path of recovery and support youth mentoring.
Strengthen our position as the leading NPO for the recovery of textiles and multi-material products in Greater Montreal, based on the principles of innovation and excellence in citizen service.
